Questions from Renfrew
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Renfrew?
Yes. Delivery to Renfrew (PA4) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Renfrew?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Renfrew gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
